Please check out this website for full facts on the Arbonne opportunity and income earnings.arbon...

Just so you know, a company that just allows it’s consultants to lie and manipulate others is a bad company. Not just the your up line is at fault - the company is the reason they are like this.
A company cannot control hundreds of thousands of people. Those of us who serve the Lord are working in Arbonne with integrity.
@@dianacaruso3294 according to the FTC companies legally have to. Just like every other company. But you folk don’t believe the FTC right? Lol
True it’s a hamster wheel
@@dianacaruso3294no MLM reps are having integrity. Read your income disclosure statement and then stop lying to people telling them it’s a great opportunity.
Thanks for sharing. It's refreshing to hear MLMs from a Christian perspective. Every Christian involved with MLMs should definitely listen to this and weigh it up with their own experience as a warning.
Thank you ☺ even if it just helps one person, I will be happy
As a Christian, I’ve had a very positive experience with Arbonne. I was led to the Lord through my Arbonne community and I’m now born again. I serve the Lord with everything I do now and my business continues to grow even though my focus is not on financial gain anymore.
Thank you so so much for recording this - I was just about to join arbonne but this has really helped me make my final decision ❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
No problem! Glad it has helped 😊😊 x
Yes !!!! The Secret and the Law of Attraction is what was a red flag for me, as a Christian !! The culture is New Age.
100%
I relate so much to your story, it’s similar to how I came to the decision to completely leave Mary Kay and all MLMs behind.
You are such a breath of fresh air. I was also in arbonne. However I had a different experience and had a wonderful group of ladies around me. However, on social media I was seeing false claims, women saying they are grateful to God and then dropping F bombs in the same post. I got out. I didn’t want to be associated with any of that. The company allows it though.
I’m so glad I watched this video, I’ve been going back and forth about joining.
WOW an amazing message Katy. I followed the New Age for 12 years before finding God. Scares me to think back to those days. Don't beat yourself up about your friend Katy, remember she has free will, you didn't force her to join your team, it was her choice. I'll share your vid across my Facebook Groups. Very powerful message today. Thank you. x
Thank you Gail ❤
I used to follow new age before finding God too. After reading The Secret it actually opened my mind to receiving Jesus. The Lord knows how to get through to people. I never question His ways. 🙏🏼❤️
Don't beat yourself up this is the way SO MANY of these marketing companies work. Thx for bringing this to all peoples attention. Not just "Christian" companies work us. I remember Oprah pushed this noom on her show years ago. Not the marketing part but this book THE SECRET. I know then these people were dangerous and have nothing to do with GOD
I’m sorry this happened to you. I’ve had a completely different experience. I found my way to Jesus through Arbonne and the community. And now many on my team have been saved and are born again! 🙌🏼 Realize that even in the church there will be people who don’t honor God but if you do then YOU should be the example. I love Arbonne and I continue to spread the word of God through this amazing company 🙏🏼❤️
Aww thats lovely to hear. I'm glad that there are teams out there like yours ❤
But why does Arbonne allow their reps to act the way they do? False claims, curse words on their posts sharing arbonne, and cringy behavior in general. I also was in with a group of ladies who were wonderful. However, when I saw how others were acting on social media, I left. I’m happy you also had a different experience.
@@deecawford Arbonne cannot possibly monitor every single post of hundreds & thousands of Consultants, especially because most just leave as quickly as they came in. Arbonne makes it their highest priority to properly train those who actually stay & are willing to do the work to grow themselves. That’s why we have the most world-class leaders. I know God brought this business into my life because it changed me, and my entire life, for the better. Some leaders, who do not have integrity, sometimes slip through the cracks and Arbonne deals with it when the time comes. I’m so sorry you are no longer a part of this amazing company. I encourage you to not make decisions based on the actions of others because you will miss a lot of incredible opportunities doing that. Satan never wants to make it easy for us to succeed. But if you take it up to God He will make a way for you in the midst of the challenges!
This is beautiful to hear… this is business like any other business in the world. I would assume. Manipulation and business there’s a small line. Everything in this world that’s sold is Advertisement. If that’s the case don’t eat anything from a commercial or advertisement. Ministry in the marketplace 🤍
Thank you for sharing your experience. I'm an arbonne consultant and I see all the new age books and practices too but to be fair, the new age books and law of attraction is very prominent in business period. I am blessed that my NVP is Christian! The way I see it is, we are independent consultant so I have the independence to do the business with my values in mind. I dont participate in new age practices. I have a full time corporate job and I see new age an demonic practices being infused in the company as well. No matter what we do for a living, we must hold to our values.
To add to my comment- I look at this as an opportunity to be successful at this business with God's help, integrity and righteousness! We can be successful without compromising our christian beliefs. God bless you 🙏🏼
Yes totally agree. I just didn’t like the responsibility of bringing people into the business and then seeing them being led down that path because they didn’t have my beliefs to no better, even when I earned them. I felt responsible in a way because I introduced them to that world.
@@thefaithlady yes sis! It's hard to take on that responsibility. We are in essence their leaders and if the only training available has new age teachings, it makes it difficult. That's why we need a revolution in business! We are called to be different and not conform to the pattern of this world so the way we pursue success and even our definition of success will look different. There is room for Christian entrepreneurs! Have you heard of God Centered Success? The founder is Mia Rene.
I have to agree with you . In this day and age the new age practice is being slapped right in front of our faces . I am blessed to have a Christian upline . I think some of use who know our faith in God and are strong believers need to step up beside these girls and show them how it's really done. With the one true God . He is our reason for success .
I had similar experiences with Mary Kay makeup and Usborne Books. I will never join another MLM company again. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing!!
Oh my goodness! I’m so sorry you had such a bad experience! I’m not at all a fan of The Secret. I’ve read tiny pieces and it was so off putting, the affirmations, the “manifesting” all of it. I hate how it’s almost their religion. I’ve been with Arbonne for almost two years and have really mainly done it for the discount and have sold some things but has never had anyone below me. I’m also a Christian and love the points you’ve shared in this video. Thanks for your video 💚🙏🏼
It’s defo possible to be a Christian and do Arbonne 🤗🙏🏼
I know, I did it for almost 5 years 😊
I’ve just recently came out of the mlm world and the prosperity preaching. For 10 years I believed soooo many lies and I’m discovering even more. I’m unlearning so many things but God is truly changing me. It’s really hard but I’m so glad to be awake!
❤️❤️❤️
Definitely The Secret is not good. It's one way some people grow their business. As you stated, this is a reflection on your team, not Arbonne. With my background in marketing, there are better ways to grow your business.. without being pushy. Like any business it does require work and any regular, 9-5pm business you have to work for your boss to be successful too. This isn't a network marketing problem.. this is where the industry gets a bad wrap and needs a change.
Thank you for sharing your experience, very helpful! I came out of the new age and never ever want to get involved with any of that again! So I will stay away from this company. Praise God that He pulled me out of that deception!!! Don’t feel guilty, just repent to God for leading those other ladies into the company…as you know, He forgives. And you can apologize to the ladies too. You were deceived and you can tell them that. It’s so great that we have such a forgiving Father. I repent often and ask God to show me a better way and fill me with the fruits of the spirit to share! God bless you!!
Thank you Zoe! ❤️❤️ so glad you came out of the new age.
I'm so glad you talked about this. Many people are taken advantage of with these MLM companies
Yes, it's so easy to get caught up in it all. Hopefully it will help some people x
Thank you so much for the explanation.
I'm from Brazil, had heard about arbonne and started to Google it, then God leads me up to your blessed video.
I am a Christian as well.
God bless you so much.
Lots of love. Xx
God bless you too! 💜
I love that you wanted to put your family and Christ first. xoxo
Yes! Thank you! It was so hard but feels right.
Something similar happened to me when I joined MaryKay makeup 🤦♀️
Did it? I can only speak for Arbonne but I imagine it is across all of the MLMs 🙈
After hearing your story. And a few other Girls, from other companies. Like pamper chef and bag 31. I'm sure it's all of them.
Those sudden music bursts made me jump out of my skin!! 🤣
🤣🤣 sorry
I am a new business owner (I sell my own services and products- not MLM). I've often felt like even in my entrepreneurial and business groups that entrepreneurialism is "religious" or some kind of religion. But I'm trying to learn to put my business out there from experienced entrepreneurs. Some entrepreneurs are rather predatory. I am a bit uncomfortable with it. I am a Christian too.
Yeah a lot of the entrepreneurial self help books lean on spiritual aspects and I think it has just got embedded into the way people think and talk now in that world. I'm so glad you are aware if it and have God in your life. I will be praying for you new business :-)
@@thefaithlady Thank you so much!
This helps my soul because this is what I witnessed as well
So thankful you spoke up and had the boldness to record and share it! My heart is heavy. I’m a follower of Jesus and my sister in law is in arbonne. She just came back from a convention in Las Vegas and wanted to share the video of the speaker with me. Several things made me awfully uncomfortable hearing.. “the spirit of arbonne”… and many others. I’ve seen her start writing out manifestation note cards, made a vision board, and is now teaching my nephew affirmations. I’m so concerned and I don’t know how to tell her the dangers of these things. What would you advise if you were in my position?
Ahh I’m so sad to hear this. It happens to so many people, they hear so much about new age practices and get wrapped up in them. From my experience she will probably not take your words of warning very well but I would still try and talk to her about the dangers if you can but pray about it before you do. Just be aware that the people in her upline will tell her that people like yourself don’t understand and are negative people that she doesn’t need to surround herself with ☹️😥. Praying for you and your sister in law. Is she a Christian? If so, hopefully she will be more open to hearing you xx
As a Christian they do not help me in my walk lol I work at a place where I deal with Arbonne ladies when they have their huge meetings they’re elitist,self absorbed and demanding they really make me angry and they are not nice they bring me so down I have to pray because a company that promotes wellness should have nicer manners I would never support their business since they’re so materialistic and worldly pray for me:)
So amazing Katy!!!! So happy you stayed unwavering to God!!! And heeded His voice of discernment!!! Great video!!!
Yes! Thank you!
I don’t believe thanking the universe is insulting God because he created it. I pray and manifest
Asking/thanking the universe for something rather than God Himself?
Thanks so much for this, I was being convinced to join Arbonne and I felt that it wasn’t for me but now I know that the feeling I felt was the Holy Spirit protecting me from possibly entering into New Age practices unawarely. Keep being led by the Holy Spirit, I love your channel! 🤍
Aww I'm so glad I could help. Thank you for letting me know 😊
I had a very different experience. I was actually led to the Lord through my Arbonne community.
I related to all of this!! I also very much related to the head slaps haha.
Hahaha xx
I too had the same issue but Arbonne has many girls in the top 1 percent of the company who are Christians (I'm not in Arbonne)
I’m sorry you had a bad experience. It was just your up line not the whole company. My up line and experience is nothing like that.
What about if you’re not working with Arbonne but just buying the products to better your body and energy and stuff? That’s what I just did for a friend who is selling Arbonne. I’m gonna be doing the 30 Days of Healthy Living.
I really like a lot of the products. Especially the fizz sticks 😊
Thank You, Respectfully Submitted
Amen!!!! Yesss Been in Arbonne i like the teas and fizz but i soooo agree!!! The community now it’s ran always felt wrong to me not Of God but new age how they speak and the books yes totally self empowerment
The community don’t bare witness Very in biblical it’s not Christin based at all and first they seem like it!!
Yes boss babes and self affirmations not into those teachings it’s against Jesus Christ!
Great video all glory to Jesus !!!
Definitely, it's very easy to get caught up in it all because it all sounds so good. Thank you for commenting 😊
Thank you for sharing
No problem 😊
All this. Yes
Great video
Thanks for the visit :)
I love your accent
Ahh thank you :)
